BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – November 2026 – Valenhold, the global developer of the VALC range of advanced haul truck drive train products and rebuild technologies, has announced a strategic partnership with FLS, expanding the VALC Service Network into Peru and Brazil. 

The partnership brings together Valenhold’s advanced drive train technologies, proprietary rebuild methodologies, and RAM (Repair and Maintenance) system with FLS‘s established service centre network in Peru and Brazil, including its facilities in La Joya and Matarani, Peru, and Santa Luzia and Parauapebas, Brazil.  

As part of the collaboration, FLS will establish dedicated VALC drive train rebuild capability within its Peru and Brazil service centres, including Service Exchage Capabilities for 930E-4 and 830E wheel drives, strengthening local support for mining customers across two of South America’s most significant copper and iron ore markets, with further expansion to be considered in line with customer demand while expanding their services portfolio towards 3rd Party – Mobile Equipment Services. 

The agreement strengthens Valenhold‘s service and support footprint for mining haul truck drive train solutions, including wheel motors and final drives, alternators, front corners, and blower motors designed to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and optimise lifecycle performance in demanding mining environments. 

Valenhold Managing Director Garth Chester said the partnership represented an important milestone in the continued global expansion of the VALC Service Network. 

“FLS is one of the most established names in mining equipment services, with a service centre network and technical depth that few providers can match”, Chester said. 

“This partnership expands the reach of the VALC Service Network (VSN) and gives mining customers in Peru and Brazil greater access to advanced drive train solutions, localised rebuild capability, and globally developed engineering and rebuild technologies. “Our focus has always been on delivering practical, high-quality solutions that improve reliability, reduce total cost of ownership, and support mining operations where uptime is critical”.  

Valenhold Chairman Wayne Trench said the partnership reflected increasing international demand for flexible, high-performance alternatives within the global mining services sector. 

“Mining operations globally are looking for partners who can combine engineering capability, reliability, responsive support, and commercial flexibility”, Trench said. 

“The expansion of the VALC Service Network into Peru and Brazil alongside FLS is a significant step in strengthening our ability to support customers in key mining jurisdictions with local capability backed by global engineering, product development, and rebuild expertise”.  

For Raúl García, Global Repair Service Manager at FLS Peru, this initiative represents an important step in strengthening the company’s service capabilities across the region and expanding its value proposition for the mining industry. “This partnership allows us to introduce new repair and rebuild capabilities for mining haul truck drive train systems, strengthening our local support and responsiveness. It also reinforces our commitment to delivering solutions that improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and address our customers’ evolving needs”, García said. 

Under the partnership, customers will gain access to: 

• Localised rebuild and maintenance capability across FLS’s Peru and Brazil service centres 

• Expanded access to VALC drive train products and technologies 

• Reduced lead times and improved service responsiveness 

• Structured repair and maintenance systems through the VALC RAM platform 

• Enhanced lifecycle performance and reliability support for critical mining assets 

 The partnership forms part of Valenhold’s broader global growth strategy, focused on expanding the VALC Service Network across key mining regions including North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
